sTEvENsoN's TRAMPs.
Belief That the Survivors VIII Not be
Indicted.
Especial to the Press.l


AUGUSTA, Dec. 6.-The grand jury sat to-
day and among the business to come before
it for Indictment are the tramps, Slim and
Irish, accused of being concerned in the
burning of Constable Steyenson's building.
1t now turns out to be very doubtful whether
they can be indicted for arson. 1t is the
general opinion of lawyers here that they
cannot, and they will probably be held only
as common tramps by the jury, as the fire is
said to have been accidental and not deliber-
ately set. Shorty, SO the girl testified, lit his
pipe and threw the blazing match into the
hay. He tried to put it out. Irish said let it
burn, and it did burn, destroying the build
ings. Thus, according to this reasoning, in
the light of the law, Shorty, who fell vic
tim to Stevepson's pistol, was guilty of no
crime but that of being tramp.

Give the Boy a Chance.

Teach your boy-if you would give
him the larger chance the Creator in
tended he should have-either trade.
or a business, and SO give him the.
chance of his hands. Educate him,
literally, richly if you can, but above
al educate him practically. Keep him*
out OF profession if you can. There.
are only two OIL three professions left,
and they arc starving to death, the
most of them. The law profession Isl
marked for decay; the world is coming
into the larger wisdom of less litigation
and more arbitration. The medical
profession is holding its empire by
trailer and Trailer hand, as the people
are escaping more and more from the
inherited ills and diseases transmitted
through superstition and perpetuated
by imagination and fear. Such thinos.
as dentistry, newspapers, ETC., are not
professions; they are skilled labor.
Give the boy a chance. If he is to be
lawyer he may build the proud temple
OF great reputation, but his son can
not inherit it. and no one can live in it
but himself. The great temples that the
proudest lawyers rear by day disappear
in the night. They are fair and noble
and imposing; but they are raised in
day and pass away in day. and no one
else can enter them. The mechanic
erec.s the true palaces. Many others
can live in them. and they stand for
thousands of people to live in, and live
on. after their builders are gone. -Des
